The Cambrian area of south west San Jose in Santa Clara County is a quiet, tightly-knit, highly desirable community of some 40,000 residents forming the south western part of the Willow Glen neighborhoods. Built on the orchard lands formerly known as The Valley of Heart’s Delight, it lies between Willow Glen and the Los Gatos foothills. Located about seven miles from the local downtown area, Cambrian features suburban charm with easy access to all of the major metropolis amenities. The Cambrian community borders the towns of Los Gatos and Campbell. It is only 45 minutes from San Francisco and is within easy reach of the cultural and recreational offerings of the entire Bay Area. Residents are just a short drive away from the county’s many parks and lakes, which provide ample opportunities for outdoor recreation; and it takes less than 30 minutes to reach the beach in Santa Cruz. Conveniently close highways, light rail public transportation access and nearby shopping centers help make this thoughtfully planned community even more attractive. A majority of the area is served by the Union and Cambrian Elementary and Middle School districts, each of which have earned the designation, California Distinguished Schools, with student test scores in the 90th percentiles. These districts are well funded with up to date sites and expansive learning programs. Cambrian residents enjoy homes in quiet neighborhoods enhanced by an ideal climate moderated by the Pacific Ocean’s close proximity. The community’s lovely, quiet, tree-lined streets are dotted with ranch-style homes situated on spacious lots. The appreciation of Cambrian homes has dramatically increased due to strong demand, the surrounding employment base, safe quiet neighborhoods, and the desirability of the best of living in the South Bay. This serene, family-oriented community offers something for everyone!
Lorelei & Barry Mangan
: Customer service is the number one priority of experienced real estate professionals, Lorelei and Barry Mangan. That priority was learned and reinforced in years of business and professional experience.
Before entering the real estate industry, Lorelei owned a manufacturing firm. She now uses coordination and marketing skills she developed in her own business to key into her clients’ wants and needs and make the real estate buying and selling process smoother for her clients. “Buying a home is the largest financial commitment most people ever make. It should be a pleasant and fun process, not one filled with stress and worry,” she explained. Lorelei has nearly two decades of real estate experience. She believes that her excellent people skills, listening skills, commitment to her clients’ satisfaction and sense of humor account for the fact that 80% of her business comes from referral and repeat clientele. “My clients become clients for life,” said Lorelei. She particularly enjoys working with first-time buyers, sellers and those seeking investment property. She has lived in the Silicon Valley area all of her life and is a Neighborhood Specialist. Lorelei loves the Santa Cruz mountain area and knows it inside and out. She enjoys all kinds of sports including skiing, skating, and horseback riding, as well as gardening and all kinds of art. She is involved in the Girl Scouts, her faith, the PTA, her daughters’ sports leagues, and the literacy and art programs in local school districts. She continues her real estate education, taking classes frequently.
Barry obtained his real estate license in 1984 while a practicing attorney. Also a native Californian, a graduate of UCLA and Monterey College of Law, Barry practiced law for twenty years before leaving law for full-time real estate so that he could have the flexibility to spend more time with Lorelei and their children. He keeps his training and experience as an attorney in the background while he enjoys the much more positive aspects of real estate. “Our clients want a knowledgeable and experienced professional; but being an excellent sales professional has more to do with active listening than it does with controlling. And that is so much more enjoyable than litigation”, said Barry. Barry has always enjoyed and utilized technology and strives to keep the team up to date with current web technology. “Many of today’s clients want to use current tools to search on their own while expecting you to be ready for them when they decide to make a move. That requires us to stay current and equipped to act quickly anywhere, and we enjoy that as well”, said Barry. Barry is very active locally and President of their homeowners association. Lorelei has put him in charge of staying in touch with their always growing list of clients.
